R-"my wife is ill and my daughter has cancer and we need money"

E-"oh well good luck dude can you kill me now"

R-"i wasn't actually gonna do it"

E-"then i'll do it myself"

he got up

and tried to snatch the gun

R-"no not now"

E-"i wasn't gonna do it now i was gonna wait until my brother stopped filming me"

that's today

shit

i looked to chloe

she gave me the same look

and we picked up our bags and stood up and started running

all in sync

then there he was

in the gym

with a crowd of people filming

i push through them

and he was tying a rope to the ceiling

he was standing on a chair

M-"get down"

E-"there's no point anymore maverick nobody lives for me anymore nobody loves me-"

M-"i love you dad i will hate to lose you please just don't do it"

tears fell down my face

i don't even care anymore

what they think of me

E-"no i'm going to do i don't even fucking care about myself anymore i hate myself i never stopped hating myself piper made me feel loved but she never loved me did she"

i stayed silent

i didn't know the answer

E-"that's right!"

he tied it around his neck

and kicked the chair

we were too late

wait

i got a knife out and jumped at cut the rope

he fell to the floor

alive

he's alive

thank god

he laid on the floor

E-"why did you do that maverick"

M-"i'm not letting you fucking die do you understand that shit that's what they want lisa sean dean. that's what they want ita what you want but it's not what i want ita not what chloe wants it's not what gray wants not ace not jake not sam not colby not lilly not us your family we may be the only ones with your blood but we're family and you can
believe what you want but i'm not letting my family die i will die for you guys and anything else ia fucking bullshit!"

then i took him home

i looked at the viral video

being reposted everywhere

starting from where he walked in with the chair

i smiled at how i saved his life

i then put my phone down

someone knocked on the door

M-"yeah?"

jake opened it and spoke

J-"there's a limo outside for all of us"

M-"ok i'll be there in a second"

i put my shoes on

and everyone went in

including ethan

the door opened

jake was first to get out

then ace

the gray

then me

then dad

then chloe

i look at the familiar carpet

we were at the castle

i look up from the floor

to see piper and her family at the end

i look to the sides to see all my classmates there laughing at me

PM-"come on"
